Journey through the New Testament

Please join us as we read through and study the New Testament in 2010. Reading schedules are provided in the foyer. Each day you will have a chapter or perhaps only a half of a chapter to read. Please spend time praying and allow God to speak to you. Also about three days a week the pastor will put a new blog/meditation entry which goes along with the readings. The sermons on Sunday will also follow along with the readings. If you wish to check out the pastor’s blog go to the home page and click on Pastor Brown's picture.

Pastor's Adult Sunday School Class
In the Parlor, 9:30 a.m.

Adults looking for a Sunday School class are welcome to join Pastor Brown in the Parlor as together we use the study guide, "Until He Comes".  This is a challenging look at how we as Christians should live knowing that one day Christ will return.  How should this affect our lives and our witness into the world?  Please come and join us.
